Post Summary
We pulled the wise and powerful Dr. Trevor Kashey out of his learning lair to answer your questions.
Dr. Kashey has influenced my thinking more than any other person. You might remember him from The Comfort Crisis. He’s the super genius in chapters 14 and 15.
Dr. Kashey owns Trevor Kashey Nutrition, where he’s helped people lose a collective 300,000+ pounds. He’s also coached and consulted for gold medal-winning Olympic teams and Fortune 500 Companies.1
I asked Dr. Kashey to help us with two questions:
How can I motivate myself to exercise more? (The answer gets into the science of motivation and the fundamentals of motivating yourself to do anything).
I work a shift work job with non-traditional hours. What can I do to stay healthy? (The answer has lessons for anyone trying to improve their health.)

It’s exceedingly difficult to put everything Dr. Kashey does in two sentences. My advice is to contact Dr. Kashey if you’re looking for help with anything—whether weight loss, fitness goals, or making more money in business.
I get no kick backs for referring people to Dr. Kashey. What I do get is relief that people who trust me will be well taken care of and improve their lives.
